Victodrobia millerae

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Victodrobia millerae faces severe threats from groundwater extraction and aquifer depletion in its limited range within the Great Artesian Basin. Agricultural development and mining activities have altered local hydrology, reducing water quality and flow rates in the springs this species depends upon. Climate change compounds these pressures by increasing evaporation rates and reducing groundwater recharge, further threatening the delicate spring ecosystems where this endemic gastropod survives.

Threat summary

Habitat
